Yeah, I hated running on Saturdays.  It just totally messed my weekend up.  I like my time right now it works out because I'm not really tired enough to go to bed after but I'm tired enough to take a short nap in the 45 minutes it takes John to get home from work and then I'm good till bedtime.  He always brings me food on dialysis days because he know I won't feel up to cooking. 

I also didn't address the noise issue talked abt earlier in this thread.  My center requires us to use headphones to watch TV so we don't disturb other patients.  They don't do anything if you don't use them but it's frowned upon.  I use some that block most of the noise from the machines except for alarm sounds which I wanna hear anyway so I know what's going on.  I also listen to my iPod, chat with other patients and read a lot on dialysis.  Sometimes I take a nap but not always.
